We didn’t blow dry or style because of the rain. (I was about to get soaked walking to my car anyway so I wasn’t looking to be styled) I got a full foil, root tap, and tone. My hair grabbed that toner like its life depended on it so it’s a smidge on the darker side but that will fade nicely. Overall very happy with…

Since James left, Sarah is my go to for anything to do with my hair. I usually ask for something a little out of the box and she's great for helping me make my ideas work together. Old review: James is always fun to chat with and I trust him to give me the cut I want (and help make decisions if I'm not too sure!)

JC and Sarah saved me! After getting a less than ideal color done at a different salon, JC agreed to fit me in last minute to try to help me fix it. I was able to leave this salon in much better spirits than when I arrived, and with a much more professional hair color.
